Kansas state universities hike tuition following budget cuts - Celia Llopis-Jepsen, CJ Online

The Kansas Board of Regents gave the green light Wednesday for tuition hikes at the six state universities following news last month of a fresh wave of cuts to higher education funding. The hikes take effect for the 2016-2017 academic year and range from $107 per semester for a full-time resident undergraduate student at Fort Hays State University to $248 per semester at Kansas State University. The increases are different for nonresident undergraduate students and for graduate students. The Regents stood united in passing the higher tuition rates, but at least one, Ann Brandau-Murguia, made clear her frustration that the increases could price potential students out of an education. http://cjonline.com/news/2016-06-15/kansas-state-universities-hike-tuition-following-budget-cuts
